My impression (i didnt play it) was it was a cheap leech game that stole for saints row
Actually it is literally a spin-off from Saints Row (the retcon ending from Gat Outta Hell, which we were promised) and it’s not really “cheap”. The graphics are spot on for the SR series, same with the characters, and there is some awesome comic/cartoon style origin stories that fit the style they were going for in the last of the SR DLCs (How The Saints Saved Christmas and the weird Enter the Dominatrix one). Also it is very much Overwatch style, just single player.
So I wouldn’t say cheap. The one issue I’ve had with it, has been the driving system isn’t as finely tuned as the Saint Row series. But also to be fair, it is to force you to explore more vertically like in the last game.
I’d say it is very much a game that stands on its own and honestly, unless you’ve been waist deep in the news you wouldn’t really know it was a Saints Row game. Because it wasn’t really advertised that way, beyond the one panel they had identifying return (but changed) characters, the Gat DLC (not in-game) character, and the vague Saints Fleur. What I’m trying to say, is that it really doesn’t lean heavily on it being a Saints Row game and using that to “get by” as a good game.
